When a former National Attorney-General, Chris Finlayson, acknowledges that two billionaires have distorted proportionality, the integrity of MMP is corrupted/decimated!Wealth has been allowed to distort the democratic voice of voters. This cannot go unanswered.

Hi Chris, its 400,000 special votes, 203,000 less than last election as National brought in new rules to exclude, young, brown and poor voters from participating in our democracy.
New Zealand has voted, and it looks like an MMP special. On the current count, National is once again the largest party in parliament, but with around 300,000 special votes still to be counted, it’s too close to call.
To every New Zealander who gave National their vote, to our members, volunteers and team, and to the people of Botany for putting your trust in me again: thank you. I’m humbled by your support, and energised by it too.
Elections are a special time when all Kiwis get the chance to exercise their democratic rights - thank you to every single person who took the opportunity to get out and vote.

@TheSpinoffTV GERRY BROWNLEE was considered an arsehole in Christchurch after the earthquake. As Speaker he was terrible for his inconsistency and bias towards his party and in particular Peter. Good riddance.

Elon Musk spent almost half a billion dollars on the Texas election and still lost.
He could have ended child hunger in America with that money.
What an asshole.
